  Introduction: Among the traumatic injuries of atlantoaxial joint (AAJ) in children, a rotational subluxation in the C1-C2 segment is more common. The frequency of its occurrence in children less than 10 years varies from 34% to 73%, in newborns this injury is the most frequent among all spinal injuries (upto 54%). Radiography is the most common method for diagnosing rotational subluxation of the atlas, but has a number of limitations due to poor visualization of the soft tissue structures. MRI study is difficult to organize in newborns, in addition, this method is the most expensive. Ultrasonography is a cheap method, it allows using high-frequency sensors to provide visualization of the ligamentous apparatus and the spinal cord, which is very important in severe forms of trauma. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibilities of X-ray and ultrasound.. Read More»
